A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

There is nothing I like better than a healthy but EASY lunch to make for my children, especially now that my son is in school and we have to pack a lunch every day.

Well, this year, San-J is making lunch time easy! This school you can create simple and delicious Asian -inspired lunches with San-J’s line of premium gluten-free Tamari and Asian Cooking Sauces, from Asian BBQ Chicken Wrap and Chicken Bites with Peanut Sauce to Vegetarian Faux Sushi and Polynesian Tuna Salad.

Asian-inspired lunches have never been this easy and flavorful. All of these recipes are gluten free and have less than 10 ingredients (some only 4), including one of San-J’s natural, gluten-free cooking sauces that are now Non-GMO. You can carry San-J’s Tamari To Go Packs in your lunchbox to add flavor to left overs, veggies or rice.

We really enjoy using the San-J's Organic Tamari in all our Asian-inspired dishes and we also use the Teriyaki and Orange in our crockpot meals, grilling and so many delicious recipes! I love the non-GMO status of all the sauces and the delicious taste!

San-J Tamari Soy Sauce

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

We really like Asian foods in our house but I am always tentative to make any Asian recipes because many Asian sauces have so many bad ingredients that I don't want to put into my family's bodies like high fructose corn syrup and MSG.

So when I saw that San-J offers Tamari soy sauce that is not only full of flavor but without all the icky ingredients, I was so excited to make some new stir-fry recipes and other Asian recipes for my family! Plus, they even offer certified organic products as well!!!

For Asian inspired dishes, many of us are accustomed to soy sauce without knowing the incredible rich, thick, deep flavor that Tamari offers in a recipe or as a dip. Soy and Tamari are both made from fermented soybeans, but Tamari has little or no wheat. San-J’s Tamari is gluten free, naturally brewed with 100% soy and ideal for an array of dishes including stir frys and great as a dipping sauce.

San-J, who are known for their premium gluten free Tamari soy sauce bring us new, gluten free Asian inspired recipes to impress your family and friends this winter. Because of the incredibly delicious sauces, the recipes come together simply but taste gourmet with sweet, tangy and Tamari flavors. They are not only gluten-free, but also all natural and packed with flavor with out the preservatives that are commonly found in conventional sauces.

Here are some gluten free sauces and Asian inspired recipes for your meal planning this winter!

Warm Mongolian Shrimp Dip
